1 GENERAL
1.1 Scope of the manual
This manual provides the essential information on the
use of XT/XA-series ball valves. For further information
on actuators and other instruments, which are covered
only briefly, please refer to separate manuals on their
installation, use and maintenance.
1.2 Valve description
XT/XA-series valves are flanged ball valves and are
either metal or soft seated. Valves have two-piece bod-
ies with bolted body joints. The ball and the shaft are
separate parts and a shaft blow-out is prevented by a
separate thrust ring/pin and retaining plates.
A spline driver transmitting the shaft torque to the ball
connects the shaft with the ball. In 1" and 1 1/2" valves
the shaft directly drives the slot in the ball (no separate
driver).
The valve is tight in both flow directions. Tightness is
based on pipe pressure, i.e. the pressure differential
over the valve forces the ball against the downstream
seat. The arrow in Figures 1 and 2 shows the recom-
mended flow direction with H seat construction.
The construction of the valves may vary in accordance
with customers’ wishes. The construction details are
indicated in the type code in the identification plate. For
more information about the type code, see section 12.
1.3 Valve markings
Body markings are cast or stamped on the body (see Fig-
ure 2). The identification plate (Figure 3) is on the valve
flange.
Identification plates have the following markings:
1. Body material
2. Shaft material
3. Trim material
4. Seat material
5. Maximum and minimum operating temperatures
6. Maximum shut-off pressure differential/temperature
7. Pressure class
8. Type code
9. Number of the list of valve manufacturing parts
10. Model
NOTE:
As the use of the valve is application-specific, a
number of factors should be taken into account when
selecting the application. Therefore, some of the situa-
tions in which the valves are used are outside the
scope of this manual.
If you have any questions concerning the use or appli-
cation of the valve, contact Metso’s Automation busi-
ness for more information.

1.8 Safety precautions 2 TRANSPORTATION, RECEPTION
AND STORAGE
Check the valve and the accompanying device for any
damage that may have occurred during transport.
Store the valve carefully. We recommend storing
indoors in a dry place.
Do not remove the flow port protectors until installing
the valve.
Move the valve to its intended location just before instal-
lation.
The valve is usually delivered in the open position.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the valve performance limitations!
Exceeding the limitations marked on the valve may cause
damage and lead to uncontrolled pressure release.
Damage or personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the
pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
Dismantling or removing a pressurized valve will result in
uncontrolled pressure release. Always isolate the rele-
vant part of the pipeline, release the pressure from the
valve and remove the medium before dismantling the
valve. Be aware of the type of medium involved. Protect
people and the environment from any harmful or poison-
ous substances. Make sure that no medium can enter
the pipeline during valve maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Beware of the ball cutting movement!
Keep hands, other parts of the body, tools and other
objects out of the open flow port. Leave no foreign objects
inside the pipeline. When the valve is actuated, the ball
functions as a cutting device. Close and detach the actu-
ator pressure supply pipeline for valve maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Beware of noise emission!
The valve may produce noise in the pipeline. The
noise level depends on the application. It can be
measured or calculated using the Metso Nelprof com-
puter program. Observe the relevant work environ-
ment regulations on noise emission.
CAUTION:
Beware of extreme temperatures!
The valve body may be very hot or very cold during
use. Protect people against cold injuries or burns.
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package, bear
in mind its weight!
Never lift the valve or valve package by the actuator,
positioner, limit switch or their piping. Place the lifting
ropes securely around the valve body (see Fig. 8). Dam-
age or personal injury may result from falling parts. The
weights are shown in Section 11.
CAUTION:
Follow the proper procedures when handling and
servicing oxygen valves.

3 INSTALLATION AND USE
3.1 General
Remove the flow bore protectors and check that the
valve is clean inside. Clean the valve if necessary.
3.2 Installing in the pipeline
Flush the pipeline carefully before installing the valve.
Make sure the valve is entirely open when flushing. For-
eign particles, such as sand or pieces of welding elec-
trode, will damage the ball and seats.
The valve may be installed in any position and offers
tightness in both directions. However we do not recom-
mend installing the valve with the actuator on the
underneath side because dirt in the pipeline may then
enter the body cavity and damage the gland packing.
The position to be avoided is shown in Fig. 9.
It may be necessary to firmly support the pipeline in
order to protect the valve from excess stress. Sufficient
support will also reduce pipeline vibration and thus
ensures proper functioning of the positioner.
To facilitate servicing, it is preferable that the valve be
supported by the body, using pipe clamps and sup-
ports. Do not fasten supports to the flange bolting or to
the actuator, see Fig. 10.
3.3 Actuator
The valve open/closed position is indicated as follows:
❑by an indicator on the actuator
or
❑by a groove at the end of the ball shaft (parallel to
the ball flow opening).
If there is any uncertainty about the indicator, check the
ball position by the groove.
The actuator should be installed in a manner that allows
plenty of room for its removal.
The upright position is recommended for the actuator
cylinder.
The actuator must not touch the pipeline, because
pipeline vibration may interfere with its operation.
In certain cases it may be considered advantageous to
provide additional support to the actuator. These cases
will normally be associated with large actuators,
extended shafts, or where severe vibration is present.
Please contact Metso’s Automation business for advice.
3.4 Commissioning
Ensure that there is no dirt or foreign objects left inside
the valve or pipeline. Flush the pipeline carefully. Make
sure that the valve is entirely open when flushing.
Ensure that all nuts, pipings, and cables are properly
fastened.
Check that the actuator, positioner, and switch are cor-
rectly adjusted. Actuator adjustment is explained in
Section 6. To adjust the accompanying device refer to
the separate control equipment instruction manuals.
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package as a
whole, bear in mind the weight of the valve or the
entire package!
NOTE:
Use screws, nuts, bolts and gaskets equivalent to the
fastenings used elsewhere in the pipeline. Center the
flange gaskets carefully when fitting the valve
between flanges.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to correct pipeline misalignment by
means of flange bolting.
Fig. 9 Avoid this mounting position
Fig. 10 Supporting the valve
NOTE:
When installing the actuator on the valve, make sure
that the valve package functions properly. Detailed
information on actuator installation is given in Section
6 or in the separate actuator instructions.

4 SERVICING
4.1 General
Although XT/XA-series ball valves require no regular
maintenance, it is recommended that the gland pack-
ing is checked regularly for tightness. If for some rea-
son the valve should require maintenance, then a few
simple service measures should normally suffice. This
section outlines the service operations that can be car-
ried out by the end user.
The numbers in parentheses refer to the parts list and
the exploded view of the valve in Section 10, if not oth-
erwise stated.
4.2 Replacing the packing without
removing the valve from the pipeline
The V-ring gland packing requires no regular tighten-
ing. The gland packing tightness is provided by the
pipeline pressure together with gland pressure against
the packing rings. In graphite gland packings, tight-
ness is ensured by contact between the gland follower
and the packing rings.
The gland packing (69) must be changed if leakage
occurs even after the hex nuts (18) have been tight-
ened. The V-ring gland packing must be tightened with
care because excess force may damage the V-rings.
❑Make sure that the valve is not pressurized.
❑Detach the actuator and bracket according to
the instructions in section 4.4.
❑Remove the key (10).
❑Remove the hexagon nuts (18), disc spring sets
(150, one stud (14) and retaining plates (42) and
gland (9).
❑Remove the packing rings (69) from around the
shaft using a knife or some other pointed instru-
ment without scratching the surfaces.
❑Clean the packing ring counterbore.
❑Place the new packing rings (69) over the shaft
(5). The gland follower may be used for pushing
the rings into the counterbore. Do not damage
packing rings in the shaft keyway. Please note that
the thrust ring (67) may come off as you remove
the packing in GA construction 2"-8" (type code
5th sign). It should be placed back in its position
before installing the new packing. See Fig. 12.
Screw down the removed stud.
❑Deform the packing rings first by tightening the
gland nuts without disc springs to the torque Tt,
see the value from Table 1.
❑Remove the gland nuts, mount the retaining plates
(42) and the removed stud in sizes 2"-8" and place
the disc spring sets (150) on the gland studs.
Tighten the nuts (18) so that the disc springs are
compressed to the height Hc, see Table 1. Lock
the nuts with locking compound e.g. Loctite 221.
See Fig. 11.
❑Check leakage when the valve is pressurized
and tighten the nuts (18) more if needed.
CAUTION:
Observe the safety precautions mentioned in sec-
tion 1.8 before servicing!
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package as a
whole, bear in mind the weight of the valve or the
entire package!
NOTE:
Always use original spare parts to make sure that the
valve functions as intended.
NOTE:
If you choose to send the valve to the manufacturer for
servicing, do not dismantle it. Instead, clean the valve
carefully of all medium and inform the manufacturer of
any dangerous medium involved.
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the
pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
CAUTION:
For safety reasons the retaining plates (42) MUST
always be installed as shown in 10.2 .

4.3 Repairing a jammed or stiff valve
without removing it from the pipeline
Jamming or stiff function may be caused by a flow
medium clogging the seat (7, 25) and the ball (3). The ball
and the seats can be cleaned without removing the valve
from the pipeline by turning the ball to a partly open posi-
tion and flushing the pipes.
If this does not help, follow the instructions below.
4.4 Detaching the B series actuator
It is usually easiest to detach the actuator and support
equipment before removing the valve from the pipeline.
If the package is small or not easily accessible, it is bet-
ter to remove the entire package at the same time.
Please note that the ball seats can be replaced without
detaching the actuator.
❑Close and detach the actuator pressure supply
and disconnect the control cables and pipes.
❑Loosen the bracket screws.
❑Detach the actuator from the valve with an
extractor that can be ordered from the manufac-
turer. See Section 8 ’Tools’.
❑Remove the bracket.
4.5 Removing the valve from the pipeline
❑Make sure that the pipeline is empty and unpres-
surized and that there is no medium flowing to
the pipeline while the valve is being serviced.
❑Carefully attach the ropes, loosen the pipe flange
screws and lift the valve using the ropes. Make sure
that you lift the valve correctly. See also Fig. 8.
4.6 Dismantling the valve
4.6.1 Sizes 1" - 8"
❑Place the valve so that the body’s hexagon nuts
(16) / body cap (2) point upwards. Use a surface
that does not damage the flanges.
❑Mark the body halves for correct orientation dur-
ing reassembly.
❑Loosen the gland nut (18).
❑Turn the ball to the closed position.
❑Loosen the body nuts (16).
❑Remove the body cap (2) from the valve. Should
the ball seat (7, 25) not stay on the body cap,
keep it from falling while you are lifting it out by
putting your fingers under the body cap (small
sizes) or in the flow bore (large sizes). Watch out
for your hand! Lower the body cap onto the sur-
face in a standing position, i.e. onto its flange.
See Fig. 14.
❑Remove the seat (7, 25) from the body cap mak-
ing sure that it is not damaged during the opera-
tion. If the seat is of a locked type, use a special
tool which can be ordered from the manufacturer.

CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package as a
whole, bear in mind the weight of the valve or the
entire package!
CAUTION:
Do not detach a spring-return actuator unless a
stop-screw is carrying the spring force!
NOTE:
Before dismantling, carefully observe the position of
the valve with respect to the actuator and positioner/
limit switch so as to make sure that the package can
be properly re-assembled.

See Fig. 15 and Section 8 ’Tools’.
❑Remove the ball (3) from the body (1) by gripping
the edges of the flow bore (small sizes) or by
passing a rope through the bore (large sizes). To
detach the ball from the spline driver (4) in sizes
2"-8" or from shaft/thrust ring (4) in sizes 1"-1.5",
turn the ball to the closed position before lifting.
Make sure that the ball is not damaged and put it
onto a soft surface. See Fig. 16.
❑Remove the key (10).
❑Remove the gland nuts (18), spring set (150),
one stud (14), retaining plates (42) and gland (9).
Remove the packing (69). Remove the pin (50).
Remove the spline driver (2"-8") or thrust ring (1"-
1.5") inside the body. For detailed figures to
remove the thrust ring see Fig. 17. Remove the
shaft (5) by pulling it outwards. Please note that
this will detach the thrust bearings (70) from
around the shaft.
❑Remove the ball seat (7) from the body (1), if
necessary with a special tool. Also remove the
back seals (63) from the ball seats and the body
gasket (65).
4.7 Checking the parts of a dismantled
valve
❑Clean the removed parts.
❑Check the shaft (5) and the thrust bearings (70).
❑Check the ball (3) and the ball seats (7, 25).
❑Check the body gasket surfaces.
❑Replace any damaged parts.
4.8 Replacing parts
Replace soft parts whenever you dismantle the valve
for maintenance. Replace other parts when necessary.
By using original spare parts, you can ensure proper
functioning of the valve. For ordering the spare parts,

❑Measure the torque and compare it to values in
Table 4.
❑If the measured torque meets the value given in
the table, finish the assembly (see below).
❑If the measured torque exceeds these limits, dis-
mantle body flange joint and lift body cap on the
table (do not drop seat).
Remove from body cap back seal stack one 0.4
mm thick shim. Repeat the assembly as described
earlier. If the torque is still too high remove one 0.4
mm shim from body back seal stack. Continue until
appropriate torque is achieved.
Accordingly, if the torque is too low, add one 0.4
mm shim.
❑Finish the assembly, see below.
Do not forget to change the V-ring set, if used,
back to graphite rings.
Tightness requirement meets ISO 5208 Rate D. Test
pressure is 6 bar with air. If the valve leak exceeds the
allowable limits, relap seats, check the torque and
measure tightness again.
(NOTE: Torque values on Table 4 do not include torque
caused by graphite packing).

mended torques are given in Table 5. The flange
faces must be in even contact with each other.
❑Mount the key (10).
❑To make sure that the ball lies properly between
the seats, turn the shaft slowly in both directions
two or three times.
❑Deform the packing rings by tightening the gland
nuts without disc springs to the torque Tt, see the
value from Table 1, see Section 4.2.
❑Remove the gland nuts and one stud, mount the
retaining plates (42) and the removed stud and
place the disc spring sets (150) on the gland studs.
Tighten the nuts (18) so that the disc springs are
compressed to the height Hc, see Table 1. Lock the
nuts with locking compound e.g. Loctite 221.
❑Observe the same caution in reinstalling the
valve that you used in dismantling it. Please also
note the instructions in Section 3.
4.9.2 Locking of the seat
A seat locking tool (can be ordered from the manufac-
turer) and a hydraulic press with suitable capacity are
needed for locking.
❑Mount the seat with the back seal as described
in the earlier section.
❑Mount the locking tool carefully over the seat, see
Fig. 24.
❑Place the valve body/body cap on the bed of the
press. The bed surface must be level and non-
scratching.
❑Align the valve and locking tool properly with the
piston of the press.
❑Press the tool to lock the seat. See Table 6 for
pressing forces.
❑Remove the body/body cap from the press and
continue the reassembly as described in the ear-
lier section.
5 TESTING THE VALVE
Test the valve’s body pressure after reassembly.
Test the pressure in accordance with an applicable standard.
Use the pressure required by the pressure class or the flange
bore. Keep the valve in the half open position during the test.
If the tightness of the closure member is also to be
tested, please contact the manufacturer.
If testing according to the UOP 671 specification is
required, follow appropriate instructions.

6 INSTALLING THE ACTUATOR
6.1 General
Use suitable mounting parts and couplings when you
install the actuators.
6.2 Installing the M-type manual gear
operator
❑The mark at the end of the shaft indicates the
direction of the ball flow bore. Turn the valve to
the closed position.
❑Lubricate the grooves of the actuator and the
couplings. Place the coupling on the shaft and
lock it. Place the bracket on the valve and turn
the lubricated screws a few times. A plate should
be installed between the valve flange mounting
face or bracket and the actuator mounting face,
see actuator’s instructions for details.
❑Turn the actuator to the closed position and push it
carefully onto the valve shaft on which the coupling
has been mounted. Please note the marks on the
handwheel and the coupling.
❑Lubricate the actuator screws. Tighten all
screws.
❑Adjust the ball open and closed positions with
the hexagon screws located at the side of the
housing (see Fig. 26). The stop-screw for the
open position is nearest to the handwheel on the
side of the housing and the screw for the closed
position is at the opposite end. The turning direc-
tions for the handwheel are marked on the wheel.
❑Check the valve by turning the handwheel to the
extreme positions. The yellow arrow should indi-
cate the direction of the ball flow bore.
6.3 Installing the B1C-series actuator
❑Turn the valve to the closed position and drive
actuator piston to the extreme outward position.
❑File off any burrs and clean the shaft bore.
❑The line at the end of the shaft indicates the direc-
tion of the ball flow bore.
❑Lubricate the actuator shaft bore. Fasten the
bracket loosely to the valve.
❑Slip the actuator carefully onto the valve shaft.
Avoid forcing it since this may damage the ball
and seats. We recommend mounting the actua-
tor so that the cylinder is pointing upwards.
❑Position the actuator parallel or vertical to the
pipeline as accurately as possible. Lubricate the
actuator mounting screws and then fasten all
screws.
❑Adjust the ball open and closed positions by
means of the actuator stop screws located at
both ends (see Fig. 27). An accurate open posi-
tion can be seen in the body flow bore. Check
that the yellow arrow on the actuator indicates
the ball flow opening position. Keep fingers out
of the flow bore!
There is no need for stop screw adjustment if the actua-
tor is re-installed in the same valve. Drive actuator piston
to the housing end (open position). Turn the actuator by
hand until the valve is in the open position. Fasten the
actuator in this position as explained above.
❑Check the stop screw thread tightness. An O-ring is
used for sealing.
❑Check that the actuator is functioning correctly.
Drive the actuator piston to both cylinder ends
and check the ball position and its movement with
respect to the actuator (close: clockwise; open:
counterclockwise). The valve should be closed
when the piston is in the extreme outward posi-
tion.
❑If necessary, change the position of the actuator
pointing cover to correctly indicate the valve
open/closed position.
6.4 Installing the B1J-series actuator
Spring-return actuators are used in applications where
valve opening or closing movement is needed in case
the air supply is interrupted. The B1J type is used for
spring-to-close operation; the spring pushes the piston
towards the cylinder end, the extreme outward position.
In turn, the B1JA type is used for spring-to-open opera-
tion; the spring pushes the piston towards the housing.
Spring-return actuators are installed in a manner similar
to B1C-series actuators, taking into account the follow-
ing.
6.4.1 B1J-type
❑Install the actuator so that the piston is in the extreme

Beware of ball cutting movement!

outward position. The cylinder must not be pressu-
rized and air supply connections must be open. The
valve must be in the closed position.
6.4.2 B1JA-type
❑Install the actuator so that the piston is in the cyl-
inder end position at housing side. The cylinder
must not be pressurized and air supply connec-
tions must be open. The valve must be in the
open position.
The rest of the installation procedure is the same as in
section 6.3.
6.5 Installing other than Metso actuators
Other actuators can be installed only if they have an
ISO 5211 actuator connection.
7 MALFUNCTIONS
The following Table 4 lists malfunctions that might occur
after prolonged use.
8TOOLS
In addition to standard tools, the following special tools
are needed.
❑For removal of the actuator:
- extractor
❑For removal of the locked seats:
- detaching tool
❑For locking of the seats:
